Appetizers recipes
Party-ready appetizers, from creamy dips to crispy finger foods, for game days, potlucks and casual get-togethers. The dips range from Cheeseburger Dip and Jalapeño Popper Dip to Texas Caviar, all easy to scoop with tortilla chips. Puff pastry bites come with spinach, mushroom, pesto or Boursin fillings and bake in about 25 to 35 minutes. For crunch, look to Buffalo chicken wings, air fryer zucchini fries and mini potato skins.
Deviled eggs, goat cheese balls and fig jam cheese bites suit a plated spread. Most recipes take 10 to 35 minutes, and many can be made ahead, so choose a dip or a bake-and-serve bite when you want to spend less time at the stove while guests arrive.
